Self-Cleaning Panels
The range is equipped with 3 panels (sides and rear) to provide a catalytic cleaning process. The
catalytic panels are attached to the sides of the oven by removing the rack guides and placing the
self-cleaning panels against the oven side. The rear panel is attached with screws. Ensure that
the "rough" side is facing out.
These liners are "self-cleaning" during cooking. If residue remains on them after cooking, remove
all shelves, pans and food items, and turn the cooking function selector to Conventional Oven
(top and bottom element), and the temperature setting to MAX. 15-20 minutes should be
adequate to clean the panels using this method.
How the Self-Cleaning panels work
.
The self-cleaning oven panels go through a special enamelling process that ultimately creates a
rough surface (this is the side which should face outwards in the oven). Because of the structure
of the surface, it is extremely porous and attracts oxygen. When splashes of grease hit this
surface it immediately spreads. In this way, immediate oxidization of the grease occurs, and it
ultimately disappears while the oven is in general use at standard cooking temperatures. The
self-cleaning panels are located on the sides and on the rear of the oven, and are designed to rid
the panels of fatty stains very efficiently.
For stains on the bottom of the oven, the usual causes are sugar or starch overflows. The base of
the oven should be cleaned by using warm soapy water (see procedure to page 15-16) with a
soft, clean cloth.
BEWARE: Never use silicone films (polish or cleaners) on self-cleaning panels - they will
be rendered useless.
Similarly, NEVER try to wash with detergent, or use abrasive cleaners on the panels.
Drop Down Grilling Element
The removal of a single screw at the front of the upper grill element permits the grill to drop down,
allowing for the cleaning of the oven ceiling. On completion of cleaning, simply replace the grill
element and secure with the screw.
To avoid smoking, use a clean, damp cloth to regularly clean oil and fat splatters from the
exposed drop down grilling element.
The fan cover can be lifted out for cleaning by removing the retaining screws. The fan blade can
also be removed for cleaning if necessary.
NOTE:
The fan blade nut has a left-handed thread.
